Ep 93: Heaven is a Place on Earth (GH)

What is heaven like according to the Bible? In this Greenhouse discussion, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 92 by exploring our assumptions about heaven, the afterlife, the New Heaven and New Earth, and the Kingdom of God. They reflect on the images many Christians absorbed growing up: clouds, harps, pearly gates, disembodied spirits, and an eternal worship service disconnected from earth. The conversation asks whether those ideas match the biblical picture of resurrection, restored creation, renewed culture, embodied life, and heaven coming to earth. Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc also discuss why our view of heaven matters now. If eternity is not escape from creation but the restoration of creation, then our lives, work, relationships, art, culture, and discipleship today carry deeper meaning.

What is Heaven Like?

The guys head into the Greenhouse to explore modern ideas about Heaven versus the biblical concept of the New Heaven and the New Earth.  They share how their personal stories have shaped their views of the afterlife, how those ideas have changed in recent years, and how they affect their journey toward becoming more like Jesus.

Then they wrestle with how and why Splitters and Joiners disagree about the impact of the Kingdom on creation and culture today, and what that means for the everyday follower of Jesus.  

This episode continues the discussion from Episode 92.

Is God Partial? Spiritual First Class and the Love of God | Ep 146

What if you believe God loves everyone equally, but somewhere deep in your heart, you’re not so sure? In Episode 146, Brian explores the hidden idea that God is partial—that some people receive greater affection, access, or favor because they are more successful, useful, disciplined, or spiritually mature. We’ll examine how this idea surfaces through performance, suffering, comparison, spiritual celebrity, and our relationships with others—and how deep discipleship invites us to experience God’s love as a gift rather than something we earn.
